History and English are correct. They just swapped math and science.

Math is green, because you count the money.

Blue is science, because water is key to so many sciences.

Yellow is History, because old pages are yellow.

Red is english, because I hate english with a burning passion.

It’s not though because math is red

u/SocraticIndifference Aug 01 '26

Nahhhhhh red is math

u/Froggyhop102 Aug 01 '26

Green is science since science is green

Blue is more mechanical and rigid which gives the vibe of math

Yellow is the color of old stuff which is history 

And red is English because it just is

Red is English because it is read

We don't call the English redcoats for nothing!

u/trainradio Aug 01 '26

I agree, but replace Black for Red. I never liked red.

u/lurker_in_the_deep17 Aug 01 '26

You think blue the color of water is mechanical and rigid. What are we doing here if we’re not going to take this seriously

This Is The Way

u/ExplosiveGeek77 Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26

THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER YES YES YES YES YES

edit: im actually gonna give some context as to why (some of these are very silly lol)
Science: Green because I always thought of acid as being sciencey, and acid is green.
Math: Blue because when I was younger in school, the maths books always had blue covers.
History: Yellow because its like parchment, maps, aged things usually go more yellow. Antique coloring almost.
English: Red, I'm actually not super sold on this colouring myself but since it was the only one left this is what I would give it. However, I would say this because of the english books having red colours and back in the day we would always have red pen telling us what to fix.

u/Amunds3n Aug 01 '26

Found the correct one in the comments!!

u/NamSToboy Aug 01 '26

Objectively correct

u/Rakhered Aug 01 '26

Excuse me sir you seemed to have dropped this 👑

I will say I used to sometimes flip science and history because there are good arguments for both colors in both subjects, but Math is always Blue and English is always Red

2

u/Doppel_R-DWRYT Aug 01 '26

I'd expand red to <native language>

u/DDTFred Aug 01 '26

u/PattyMarvel 28d ago

Question - what subject should be purple?

u/Bootsix Aug 01 '26

Bad student here, this was a thing?

1

u/supermattman00 Aug 01 '26

Swapped history and English. History is bloody, therefore red.
A lot of book pages and papers are yellow in hue. So English is yellow

u/glooble_wooble Aug 01 '26

Yes, and I also had orange for social studies.

u/Junior_Recipe_7833 Aug 01 '26
